How our hog roast hire works in Potter's Green

A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Potter's Green: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. We’re frequently asked to cater corporate events and weddings and receptions, serving new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.

Allergies and dietary needs

Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:

Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly

We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.

What a hog roast costs

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

Season and day of the week
Access to the cooking area
How many people are eating
Crockery choices

Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Details that help

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

Anything the venue has asked for

The date and when you’d like to eat
Dietary requirements

Planners, venues and businesses

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

The menu, dish by dish

Crackling

Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

Roast pork

Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy.

Catered or do it yourself?

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

The process

Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Evenings in Potter's Green stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

We start with a few details about your event.
You get an availability check and a clear quote.
Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
